Teachable charges per-plan fees: Basic plan 5% transaction fee + payment processing, Pro plan 0% transaction fee + processing only (119/month). Revenue model: students × course price minus fees and plan cost. At scale, Pro plan dominates because 5% transaction fee exceeds 119/month at ~2,400 monthly revenue.

50 students × 150 course = 7,500 gross. 5% Teachable fee 375 + 3% payment 225 = 600 fees. Net: 6,900/month. On Pro (119/month, 0% txn): 7,500 - 225 payment - 119 = 7,156. Pro saves 256/month at this volume. Break-even: ~2,400/month revenue.

Teachable vs Podia vs Kajabi: Teachable strongest marketing features (sales pages, funnels, affiliates). Podia simplest and cheapest for small creators. Kajabi most powerful all-in-one (website + email + courses) but most expensive. Choose based on marketing sophistication needs and revenue scale.

Quick example

With students monthly of 50 and avg course price of 150 (plus teachable fee of 5% and payment fee of 3%), the result is 6,900.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.

Which inputs matter most

You enter Students Monthly, Avg Course Price, Teachable Fee %, Payment Fee %, and Monthly Plan Cost. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

What's happening under the hood

Gross = students × price. Fees = gross × (teachable + payment %). Net = gross - fees - plan. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.

What the score tells you

Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.

What this doesn't capture

The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.

Example Scenario

50 × £150 £ - 5% - 3% - £0 £ = $6,900.00.

Inputs

Students Monthly:50
Avg Course Price:150 £
Teachable Fee %:5
Payment Fee %:3
Monthly Plan Cost:0 £
Expected Result$6,900.00

This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Basic vs Pro plan?
Basic: 39/month + 5% transaction fee. Pro: 119/month + 0% transaction fee. Break-even at ~2,400/month gross revenue. Above that, Pro saves money. Below, Basic cheaper total.
Teachable vs self-hosted?
Teachable: hosted, marketing tools, payment handling, 5-8% total fees. Self-hosted (WordPress + LearnDash): own hosting, own marketing, 3% payment only. Self-hosted cheaper at scale but requires technical setup and maintenance.
Average course price on Teachable?
50-300 most common. Mini-courses 27-47. Standard 97-197. Premium 297-497. Flagship 497-997+. Higher prices need stronger marketing but fewer sales for same revenue.
Affiliate programme?
Teachable supports affiliate commissions (typically 20-40% of sale). Affiliates bring students; you pay commission only on sales. Effectively reduces your margin but drives volume. Best for creators with established peer networks.
